    I am a straightforward, simple, fun-loving individual who enjoys life as it comes. I love to play both indoor and outdoor sports. As for my work; I used to previously work with some really cool things (e.g. miniature CT-scan machines and stuff….ask me more when we chat…..) and currently work with some really crazy things (Radio-biological models). During my career, I have usually worked with cancer diagnosis / treatment in some form or the other. At the end, I am an engineer trying to gain a doctorate in physics..(….sounds funny…… I know, believe me)

  • My Typical Day:

    My typical bad day consists of hair pulling, tea, coffee and banging my head on the wall….also good days are fun when things work the way I want them 🙂

    I am a relatively late starter (10:00ish 🙂 ); Usually I first check my emails /answer them. Then, start with some breakfast tea along with a chat with my supervisor about the plan for the day. Then I get on with my task [ usually programs 🙁  ]. Around lunch time I seriously just eat (did you know brain consumes a lot of glucose ?? (Anyways its the best time of the day). Late in the afternoon, I have a talk with my supervisor to discuss what I have been doing and improve upon my work [ again with some tea 🙂 ]. Further, I carry on with the discussed task and if successful/mentally incapacitated I try to read something else/check some assignments of undergraduate students.  My typical day varies significantly with a good mix of good and not-so-good events.

      Tell us a joke.

      There was once a young man who, in his youth, professed a desire to become a “great” writer. When asked to define “great” he said “I want to write stuff that the whole world will read, stuff that people will react to on a truly emotional level, stuff that will make them scream, cry, wail, howl in pain, desperation, and anger!” Well ……….He now works for Microsoft writing error messages.
